@Denene I’ve read that rainwater is much better for plants than tap water because all the tap water additives can harm the plants. And they really do turn a lot greener after rain.

@deana I love hearing that! If nothing else, you can use a small bucket or basin and collect whatever does fall

Jennae, I’m SO impressed! You have completely inspired me to do the same. Though it doesn’t rain here in Los Angeles a whole lot during most of the year… winter does have it’s rainy days – and I shall be collecting rainwater! Good luck with the move – new spaces are so exciting!

I love it—what a great idea! I didn’t think to put buckets/barrels out to catch the rainwater, but I did put all my plants outside last week so they could get that good rain water on them. It’s amazing how much they bloom and sprout and come alive when plain ol’ rainwater is used. Next time, I’ll spare myself the plant dragging, and catch the water to bring to the inside.
